tcp_keepalives_count and tcp_keepalives_interval

From

Hi,

In
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/devel/static/runtime-config-connection.html
the descriptions for $SUBJECT seem quite sub-par.  I misunderstood what
tcp_keepalives_interval does, and I had no idea how tcp_keepalives_count
works without the use of a search engine.  Can we make these match the
better descriptions in
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/devel/static/libpq-connect.html?



Regards,
Marko Tiikkaja

No objection at this level of detail --- do you want to propose a
concrete patch?
